Feeling freaked about your single status?
As the start of the holiday season approaches, many singles
start getting the blues over not having a special someone to enjoy it with --
but instead of feeling bad about sleeping single in a double bed -- this is a
great time of year to celebrate being fabulous without a significant other. Even
better, it's the perfect time to meet someone.
Here's five great reasons not to be scared of being single
during the holidays. This year, try embracing being single. Get out and date
and and enjoy the holiday season. We've got five great ways for you to turn
your fear of being single into the pleasure of meeting new and interesting
people.
1. Halloween costume parties
Let's face it, going to parties stag is always a drag. But
at Halloween, you can mask your fears by putting on a costume and being someone
you aren't most of the year. Choose the kind of Halloween costume that will
express your mood this year (Silly? Sexy? Sarcastic?) and then throw yourself
into the spirit of the season. You just never know who you might meet at a
Halloween party -- someone else with a spirit of adventure that matches your
own.
2. World Series Watch
parties
You don't have to be a "homer" to enjoy baseball
in October. The two teams that made it all the way through the playoffs are
destined to create spectacular moments that everyone will be talking about, so
go ahead and pick a team. Don't know anything about baseball? It's an easy
sport to learn because it goes at such a slow pace. Find someone who will give you a few pointers
and get flirting. Are you an expert at baseball? Take the time to introduce
someone new to the game.
3. Harvest suppers
Okay, so these kind of dinners often sound like the ones
that are thrown by the ladies of the church or your dad's Rotary Club -- but
just because a "harvest supper" has a tradition doesn't mean it has
to be stuffy and old-fashioned. Put your own fantastic cooking skills to the
test and invite a few friends over for feast with all the tastiest foods of the
season. Ask each of your friends to bring a guest -- preferably someone you've
never met before. A friend of a friend just might be your match.
4. Thanksgiving gatherings
There is always room for one more person at any Thanksgiving
table, so don't make the mistake of staying home alone eating a frozen turkey
dinner if you are miles and miles away from loved ones on the holiday. Let
people know you are alone and accept the most intriguing invitation you are
given -- no matter how mysterious it might be -- you will be surprised at the
kindness that is shown by families on this particular holiday. And you never
know, that single guy that Aunt Bessie wants to fix you up with just might turn
out to be a hottie after all!
5. Holiday mixers
Put on your little black cocktail dress and head out for
happy hour. It seems like almost every organization has a little end-of-year
holiday gathering and you shouldn't turn down any invitations if you're single
and ready to mingle. Don't go with any expectations, except to have fun and
enjoy (usually free) nibbles and libations.
